After endorsing Sri Chaitanya Educational Institutions, Allu Arjun was also signed up as a brand ambassador for Rapido. Rapido is a bike taxi aggregator and logistics service-provider. The ad commercial of the company was released recently and it is currently trending on social media. However, Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) is unhappy with the ad and decided to send a legal notice to the firm as well as Allu Arjun.

TSRTC MD Sajjanar released a press note in this regard.

“Sri. V.C. Sajjanar, IPS, Managing Director of TSRTC, has taken serious exception to a Rapido advertisement that features Tollywood actor Allu Arjun. In the advertisement that is being aired on YouTube, the actor is seen telling people that RTC buses take more time like ordinary dosas while Rapido would be so fast and safe that it would prepare masala dosa in the same time. The advertisement has drawn flak from a host of people, including RTC commuters, admirers and our own and retired employees. They are condemning the negative manner in which RTC bus has been shown in comparison to Rapido service. Demeaning TSRTC will neither be tolerated by the TSRTC management nor by the commuters, admirers and our own and retired employees.” read the press release.

TSRTC MD also stated that TSRTC was in the service of the common man and it will send legal notice to the actor and to the firm which is promoting the advertisement. Further, MD requested all the Actors, Celebrities and eminent personalities who are in a position to influence public opinion to desist from promoting content which is detrimental to public transportation and public good.

We have to see if the company or Allu Arjun responds to the same.

On the work front, Allu Arjun’s next film is Pushpa. The film’s shoot is currently in progress. Directed by Sukumar, the film is scheduled for a release next month.
